Psalm 3

Domine, quid multiplicati

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses

  1. 1

    LORD, how many adversaries I have! *
    how many there are who rise up against me!

  2. 2

    How many there are who say of me, *
    "There is no help for him in his God."

  3. 3

    But you, O LORD, are a shield about me; *
    you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.

  4. 4

    I call aloud upon the LORD, *
    and he answers me from his holy hill;

  5. 5

    I lie down and go to sleep; *
    I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

  6. 6

    I do not fear the multitudes of people *
    who set themselves against me all around.

  7. 7

    Rise up, O LORD; set me free, O my God; *
    surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked.

  8. 8

    Deliverance belongs to the LORD. *
    Your blessing be upon your people!
